Picking the perfect field hockey stick can be daunting. Luckily, there are simple guidelines for any beginner to help make their purchasing decision.
First, consider the surface you will be playing on. If you're playing on turf, an aluminum or composite stick works best. When playing on grass, opt for a lighter wooden stick. Second, think about your playing style. Are you an attacker who needs a stiffer stick or a defender who prefers a more flexible shaft?
Next, select a size that suits you. Field hockey sticks come in a variety of sizes. Ideally, when standing upright with feet together, the top of the stick should reach the player's hip. If you are still unsure, ask a coach or experienced player for advice.
Finally, think about your budget. Sticks run the gamut in quality and cost; research different brands to ensure you get the best value. Once you've done all this, pick up the stick and get ready to play—you'll know if it's the right choice!
